GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE1999, 9 minutesDirected by: Joe Nussbaum

Young George Lucas has writer's
block. If he doesn't finish his screenplay in three days, he won't
graduate from USC Film School. What he doesn't realize is that his
story is all around him. His stoner roommate obsessed with "the
force," his evil neighbor with Vader-esque asthma, and his diminutive
professor with a habit of talking backwards all fail to spark his
script. Then he meets a beauty with hair buns, and everything changes.

STAR WRAS2000, 1.36 minutesDirected by: Ceri Llewellyn

What if a Japanese film
company had decided to remake Star Wars on a budget using
the noble art of folded paper? Origami fighters, cardboard gun emplacements...This
film is the result of such a question.

A searing parable of human
frailty and isolation, the film probes the impact of an unexpected
tragedy on a community homogenized in minivanned, manicured affluence.
With extreme sensitivity and compassion, Marc Forster punctures
the suburbs' surface of propriety to unveil the anguish of an
individual adrift in the absence of compassion or support. What
emerges is a film that is nothing short of soul stirring: a new
emotional realism for a dawning digital age.
